Wikipedia Editor for Biography Updates

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

I am looking for an experienced, rule-abiding Wikipedia editor to help suggest updates to an existing biography/organization page. Because I have a Conflict of Interest (COI) regarding the page, this project MUST strictly adhere to the Wikimedia Foundation’s Terms of Use regarding paid editing and COI guidelines. Tasks Required: Review a list of specific factual errors on the page and match them against the reliable, independent, third-party sources I will provide (no primary sources or self-published material). Formulate clear, neutral "Edit Requests" using the proper template (Edit COI) on the article’s Talk Page for independent volunteer review. Assist in legally uploading a new, copyright-cleared profile image to Wikimedia Commons (under a Creative Commons free-culture license) and submit a request to swap the image on the article page. Requirements: Must have a clean, established Wikipedia account with a history of constructive edits. Must agree to fully disclose your paid relationship/employer status on Wikipedia as mandated by the Terms of Use (on your user page, edit summary, or talk page). Deep understanding of Wikipedia’s core content policies: Verifiability, Neutral Point of View (NPOV), and No Original Research. Experience navigating Wikimedia Commons copyright guidelines. To Apply: Please outline your experience with COI/Paid Editing requests on Wikipedia. Bids guaranteeing "instant, direct edits" or promising "guaranteed permanent placement without community review" will be automatically rejected. We are strictly following the community consensus/Talk Page proposal model.
